Modern History Tutor St Leonards, NSW
Build a personal relationship with them and understand what the student does and doesn't like. Having being tutored myself, I didn't respond as well with someone who could not meet me at my level than I did with a tutor who I felt I could relate to and trust. I am calm and caring, which I think is really important in tutoring, especially when…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing a tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I believe my…

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

I think the greatest gift a tutor can provide to a student is support.

A tutor can also make the learning experience far more rewarding and enjoyable. Students feel…

Local Reviews

Things are going really well. Kai enjoys Noah's tutoring. On his last math's assessment he received 80% in comparison to the one before which was 55%. I met with his math's school teacher and she has provided upcoming topics for Noah to discuss with Kai as well as 2 practice tests. Her feedback was positive too and constructive. If we stay on this path, I'm confident that it will prepare him well for the upcoming HSC.

Inside WilloughbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Aiden focused on fractions and percentages, building confidence through practical problem sets.

For Year 9, Grace revised index laws—applying them to simplify expressions—and explored how to convert between roots and indices using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled advanced probability questions and practiced working with random variables and probability distribution functions for his mathematics course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled with revision because old notes hadn't been reviewed, which led to confusion over index laws and difficulty simplifying complex algebraic expressions—"he wasn't sure when to use (a^m)^n = a^(mn)," as noted in the session.

In Year 7, unfinished assigned work meant new percentage topics weren't practiced enough for speed.

For a senior Physics student, not specifying help areas clearly made it harder to target gaps in understanding during tutorials.

Meanwhile, an English student avoided dialogue writing tasks, limiting progress in developing character depth and narrative tension within creative pieces.

Recent Achievements

One Willoughby tutor recently noticed Kristina, a Year 12 student, overcoming her initial overwhelm with Advanced Mechanics by stepping back to strengthen her trigonometry skills—she now tackles those foundation questions without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Cael in Year 7 shifted from needing frequent prompting during writing sessions to experimenting independently with dialogue and building character profiles for stories.

In primary school, Aylin moved from passive participation to actively engaging in lessons and now attempts every question on her own initiative; last session, she completed all addition and subtraction tasks without waiting for guidance.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Castlecrag Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Willoughby Public School.
